AMC’s “Huts 125th Celebration” 30 percent off deal is available at any combination of AMC New Hampshire Huts or Lodges with a three-night stay from June 2–28, 2013, Sunday through Friday nights.

Reservations must be made by May 15.

This deal also includes a free copy of Passport to AMC’s High Huts in the White Mountains, a helpful planning guide that hut guests can get stamped at each hut to commemorate their anniversary visit.

In addition to getting an early jump on the summer hiking season, the second half of June is prime time for catching the White Mountain alpine flower bloom.

Hikers can also take advantage of this special discount to create their own lodge-to-hut adventures by pairing the huts with AMC’s Highland Center Lodge and Joe Dodge Lodge.

Starting on June 1 and throughout the full-service summer season, AMC hut crews serve hungry guests home-cooked dinners and breakfasts.

Hikers can also look forward to fun after-dinner skits and morning wake-up songs handed down through generations of hut crews, along with Jr. Naturalist graduation ceremonies especially for younger hikers.

Evening naturalist talks are another big part of the guest experience and cover everything from hut history and green technologies at the huts to alpine ecology and mountain weather.

Each hut location is “off the grid” and features the use of alternative energy and sustainable practices such as recycling and composting.

With the Huts 125th Celebration savings, nightly rates are $82.60 per person for adult non-members based on three consecutive hut nights, including bunkroom accommodations with dinner and breakfast plus hut naturalist programs.

Discounted rates apply for AMC members, teens, and children. The deal applies to all eight AMC White Mountain Huts, Highland Center Lodge and Joe Dodge Lodge in the White Mountains, and Cardigan Lodge in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.

Founded in 1876, the AMC has more than 100,000 members, advocates, and supporters in the Northeast and beyond.

The nonprofit promotes the protection, enjoyment, and understanding of the mountains, forests, waters, and trails of the Appalachian region. It supports natural resource conservation while encouraging responsible recreation, based on the philosophy that successful, long-term conservation depends upon first-hand enjoyment of the natural environment.

Most of the huts are in the White Mountain National Forest and are operated under a special use permit from the U.S. Forest Service.

AMC’s Lonesome Lake Hut is operated in partnership with the New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation.
